This thing doesn´t like me

The minute I sat in front of the computer to start writing on this thing, my stomach begins aching and my guts behaving in messed up ways. Is it some weird statement from my body asking me to please stay away from the freaking computer?. Because if it is, it will have to do much better. Not even when I broke a hand, or a shoulder, I was able to stay away... (It's amazing how fast you can learn to type with only one hand by the way).

Anyway, unsuccessful as it was to keep me away, it did manage to clear my mind from the topic I wanted to discuss. I know the general idea though, it was all about entertainment, or having fun that is. While about to write about what I did on Friday and Saturday, I realized that it pretty much sums up to the fact that I had good times, good laughs, and good people to share it with.

What I did was fun nonetheless, and I shall not take any credit away from those nights. Going out with Sergio is becoming quite an adventure every time, he he he. And Saturday in Blanco's birthday I laughed so hard that my face muscles were getting sore. (Yes, looking at my brother dancing in the middle of the street in front of a police car will do that do you!) O.o

Hmmm... I know too that I like deep talks. As silly as I tend to be, I can actually get quite serious and discuss heavy topics in inteligent ways. I really can!. And one afternoon having one of those talks with a friend can be just as much fun to me too. Or just some quiet reading.

What is fun then?. Damn. How would I define having a good time?. Yes!. That's the idea I started to write with. And to be honest, I don't know. So far, I have only come up with one idea: the moment you are truly centered in your present, not worrying about past or future, just enjoying the time you are currently living and not caring about anything else... That moment you are having a good time.

A good story does that to us, just as much as a great talk, and quality time with friends. While doing that we mostly let go of everything else!. Of course it's not always 100%, and as we share with friends all of a sudden we remember that the next day is a work day, or that we have to pay this or that. Whatnot. But still, when having a good time those back to reality ideas either last very little, or don't really seem to affect us. We look at them from a different perspective.

Hmmmm....

Yet, I know there is much more to it. I shall give it some more thinking...

On other news, I saw this movie called In the Name of the Father today. I believe it's old, yet up until today I managed to see it. Pissed me off. The political system, the jails, society. Great movie though, the messed up part is that it was all real, and it really happened that way. I am against prisons and jails. I mean, they are probably necessary in our current society. But the problem is that I do believe we could live in a society where we wouldn't need them. Besides, nowadays concept of justice and law are so corrupted... Which is exactly what that movie is all about.

* sigh *

Makes me think of this song from queen.

I know there is no point in getting upset, or pissed off. Yet a lot of times I do. I just saddens me to see all this potential in humanity thrown into the garbage bin. And it really is because of greed and mistrust. Either way, I gain nothing by complaining... Right?.

As good ol' Confucius said: If you want to change the world, start with your self. That idea, we forget a lot too.

Hmmm... All of a sudden this got all political and aggressive... He he he. Oh well...

Anyway, cheer up!... :-D

ps. From the beginning of that movie:

in the name of the whiskey
in the name of the song
you didn't look back
you didn't belong

in the name of the reason
in the name of the hope
in the name of the religion
in the name of the dope

in the name of the freedom
you drifted away
to see the sun
on someone else's day

in the name of united
and the BBC
in the name of Georgie best
and LSD

in the name of the father
and his wife the spirit
you said you did not
they said you did it

in the name of the justice
in the name of the fun
in the name of the father
in the name of the son
